Your words should have mental pictures to your listeners. Always communicate with words that can easily point to what you are saying.

Impact a Yes Minded Consciousness to Your Listeners

Never communicate in such away that your audience, instead of following you in a positive direct, revert to the opposite direction. That is to say, do not speak in such a way that your listeners will say no, we cannot, etc. It will kill their pull towards you and set them on an opposing camp.

Always impart a yes minded consciousness to your listeners, by finding and establishing a common point of view or a common ground of agreement. With this common ground of agreement at your opening speech, your audience can be won easily. Identify with any or their problem before speaking, to avoid looking condemning, which will cause them to revolt or seek defense.

Your Speech Must be from a stirred up Heart

You must be stirred up in the delivery of your message. Your communication to your audience must be with boldness, assurance, and conviction. You must be able to convince your listeners of what you are telling them for them to believe in it. You must be able to assure them, before making them to be sure of what you are talking about.
